Just became a baron

[zmanerism]

In my last game my DM had us find the deck of many card (if I am miss naming it was a late night, basically the deck that can rock or kill you...s@!@.) I got the card that gave me awarded me the rank of Baron and the lands that came with it. What are some ideas about the amount of lands and keep size that would be appropriate? We are not playing the king maker campaign.

This will sound like a plug -- which it kind of is but:

I would recommend looking at the kingmaker books anyways -- specifically the second one which has the rules for kingdom building in it. In addition I would recommend the Game Mastery Guide for your GM as well as it has additional material to cover such things. The rules and ideas presented in these two sources go a long way in helping keep the running of a kingdom/barony/whatever nice and tidy without undue stress on anyone.

Thanks, I have the DM master guide and will check in with my local game shop to see if I can read the king maker with out purchasing. My DM mentioned he wanted to run the King Maker campaign next so he might have the info. I guess I will talk to him next.

You know if he really wants to run kingmaker I think this could be an "in" for him with the current party.

The first and second books can kind of be skipped without too much work and you have the set up for a "kingdom" with your current character.

The GM could just move you all to your new barony in the kingmaker area and go on with a modified start for kingmaker right now.
